Officer Speldrich has really set an example and the benchmark for keeping our community safe
by enforcing DUII laws. He not only is a resource to Springfield Police Department, but he is a
subject matter expert on the topic and teaches officers from agencies statewide. On June 11, he
arrested the same DUII offender twice………….. After the first arrest, the offender bailed out
and went right back to his car and try to drive off. He was arrested a second time for DUII.
